Students at Hazen Union High School in Hardwick are being taught animal anatomy with state-of-the-art software, thanks to a compassionate science teacher who won a contest sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). To mark "Cut Out Dissection" Month in October, TeachKind, PETA's humane-education arm, sponsored a contest in which teachers around the country were asked to list the reasons why their school deserved to win a state-of-theart dissection simulation tool called Digital Frog 2.5. Science teacher Teal Church wrote the winning essay, and Hazen Union High School students started using the interactive computer software this month. Digital Frog 2.5 allows students to "cut" using a digital scalpel to explore animal anatomy, and unlike dead animals who are cut up for dissec-

tion, it teaches students about how frogs' living bodies work as well as about their natural habitats. Church doesn't use animals in her classes and wanted Digital Frog to provide students with a complete virtual anatomy experience. "We're delighted to help Ms. Church and Hazen Union take the lead in teaching biology with humane, modern methods," says PETA Senior Vice President of Laboratory Investigations Kathy Guillermo. Comparative studies have repeatedly shown that non-animal teaching methods, such as interactive computer programs, are more effective at teaching biology than are animal-based methods. These programs also save time and money and increase student confidence and satisfaction. The National Science Teachers Association endorses the use of modern non-animal methods as replacements for animal dissection.

Norwich University will screen the new documentary film, Bill W., about Norwich alum and Alcoholics Anonymous founder Bill Wilson on Friday, January 25 at 7pm in Dole Auditorium. Bill W. tells the story of native Vermonter and former Norwich University student William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous and a man included in TIME Magazine's "100 Persons of the 20th Century." Interviews, re-creations, and rare archival material some from Norwich University reveal how Bill Wilson, who became a severe alcoholic during World War I, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow.

Norwich University Screens Documentary Film Bill W With Filmmaker

n n n

With Wilson as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women. Despite the fundamental role that anonymity plays in A.A., Wilson became an icon within the fellowship, and was prevented from participating in the very society he fostered. Wilsons life is described by sacrifice and service and a worldwide impact of his legacy. Admission is free and open to the public. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Kevin Hanlon. For more information about the film and for home-viewing options, visit www.billw.com.

The Radio Vermont Broadcast Group recently announced that Tom Beardsley has been named Vice President of Group Sales. WDEV AM, WDEV FM, Classic Vermont WCVT, WLVB FM in Morrisville and WEXP FM in Rutland will all be under his direct sales management. Previously Beardsley had been sales manager of the flagship station, WDEV. He will have responsibility for planning, group sales, as well as hiring sales personnel. Beardsley, a veteran radio broadcaster whose radio career started in 1969, joined WDEV in 1973 in its news department and gravitated to sales over the years. Beardsley took over the position of WDEV station manager upon the death of Rusty Parker in 1982. He left WDEV in 1986 to pursue other interests and operate two stations in Maine. Beardsley returned to the Green Mountains in 1994. Im thrilled with this opportunity, said Beardsley. I dont believe there is a more responsible community service broadcast group than Radio Vermont. Beardsley was honored as the recipient of the 1986 Vermont Association of Broadcasters Distinguished Service Award. He has served as the director of public and industry relations in the Northeastern United States for the American Dairy Association and has been a vice president for the Vermont Association of Broadcasters. Currently, he is on the board of the Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation and has been a former director of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce board. Beardsley also serves as trustee of the Eastern States Exposition.

What does artistic interpretation mean? "In the Eye of the Beholder," a show of works by Anne Unangst, Cindy Griffith, and Marcia Hill, explores this question in an innovative way. Now on display in the Governors Gallery, the show features pastel paintings by the three central Vermont artists based on the same series of landscapes. In each case, a photograph of the actual view is included as an additional point of comparison. Unangst, Griffith and Hill have been painting together for several years. Their work captures shimmering autumn afternoons, fields of lavender in full bloom, and the long shadows of winter. But, though they clearly inspire and encourage each other, the three artists differ markedly in their approach, perspective and style. Their message to viewers of the show is that artistic vision, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. In the Eye of the Beholder will be on view in the Governors Gallery, on the 5th floor of the Pavilion Building in Montpelier, through March 31st. The public is invited to attend a reception for the show on Tuesday, January 29th, from 3 to 5pm. Normal gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A photo ID is required for admittance.

The glider sat on the runway behind the Cessna plane. The pilot and his student pilot were preparing for takeoff. It was a sunny, clear day in August a typical day of glider flying at Springfields Hartness State Airport. The remarkable thing was that the student pilot was just 13 years old - a cadet member of the Capital Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. Civil Air Patrol is the civilian, volunteer, auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. It provides emergency and search and rescue services, aviation and aerospace education, and youth leadership and service programs. The opportunity to learn to fly is one of the clear benefits for Civil Air Patrol cadets, but cadets also learn leadership, discipline and emergency services skills. Cadets meet once a week and typically have one special event per month, such as emergency services training, land navigation, orientation flights or a community service project. The Capital Composite Squadron will be holding its annual Cadet Open House on Tuesday, January 29 from 6pm to 8:30pm, for central Vermont teens ages twelve through eighteen interested in learning more about membership. Cadets will present information about the activities and opportunities Civil Air Patrol has to

offer and will answer questions about the program. The Open House will be held at the National Guard Readiness and Regional Technology Center, located on Cram Drive on the Norwich University Campus in Northfield.

Its January, which means its income tax time again. For years the Library has distributed state and federal income tax forms and instructions, and we will continue that service this year. There is a holdup, however. All the forms are late this year because of the fiscal cliff legislation. The legislation changed some tax law; so many forms had to be revised at the last minute. The IRS has advised us that common forms and instructions should arrive by early February, so give us a call after February 1st and we will let you know what is here. We will post it on the display sign out front, on our website, www.ainsworthpubliclibrary.wordpress. com, and there will updates in our next column. You can also go the IRS website, www.irs.gov, for the latest updates. The IRS has told us the forms and instructions will be posted on their website as soon as changes are approved. We will have to wait for them to be printed and shipped to us. State tax forms and instructions are also late this year because of the fiscal cliff legislation. The tax department has advised us they will ship fewer forms this year to save money, and because many people file electronically now. The tax department asks that you only take the minimum number of forms that you will need. Many people have been asking when the next toddler storytimes will be. They are scheduled for March because of the winter weather and difficult parking in front of the library with all the snow. We will get the word out when the exact dates are known. Your library needs friends, all the friends it can get. An excellent way to become a friend of the library is to join the Friends of the Ainsworth Public Library. The Friends are looking to make more friends, so become one by joining. For information call Kathy (cochair) at 249-0464 or call the library at 433-5887. The monthly Board of Trustees meeting is the third Tuesday each month at 6pm in the Library. Trustees are elected town officials and volunteer their time to make your library what it is. All Trustees meetings are open to the public. Come and see how your library works and thank them for all their work. Next meeting is February 19th, at 6pm at the library. Current Library Hours: Monday, 2pm to 6pm; Tuesday, 2pm to 6pm (until 7pm most Tuesdays, call to be sure); Wednesday, 9am to 6pm; Thursday, 2pm to 6pm; Friday, 2pm to 6pm; Saturday, 9am to 1pm; Closed major holidays.

Each year, 30 to 50 Vermonters are exposed to carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that can be deadly during the home heating season. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of poison-related death in the United States, and it is preventable, said Sarah Vose, state toxicologist for the Vermont Department of Health. A properly functioning carbon monoxide detector near all sleeping areas is the best protection. Combustion fumes from portable generators, wood-burning stoves, gas ranges and heating systems can lead to a potentially fatal build up of carbon monoxide in places that dont have a good flow of fresh air, or if heating systems are not maintained or vented properly, such as a vent that is blocked by snow. Sixty-four percent of unintentional poisonings from carbon monoxide occur in the home. If your CO detector is going off and wakes you up, or during the day call 9-1-1 and leave the house immediately, said Chris Herrick, chief of the Vermont HAZMAT Response Team. Even though you may not see or smell anything the situation could be dangerous or even deadly. Symptoms can be mild (fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea) or severe (loss of consciousness and death) and the level of exposure, such as how long and how much was inhaled, influences the recovery and the damage done. Most people who survive CO poisoning recover fully. Some, however, may have delayed symptoms. Mental abilities can be impaired and permanent brain damage can occur. To make sure that you and your family are safe from carbon monoxide poisoning: - Install a carbon monoxide detector near all sleeping areas in your home. If you have electri-

cal power, use an electric-powered detector with battery backup. Replace the battery when changing the time on clocks each spring and fall. - If the detector alarm sounds, leave your home immediately and call 9-1-1. - Maintain heating equipment, gas, oil, or, coal burning appliances and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional. - Have your wood stove, chimney, and venting system cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional at least once a year. - Make sure that stove pipes and other types of vents are tightly joined and not cracked or rusty. - Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning and are feeling dizzy, light-headed, or nauseous. - Keep snow or ice from piling up outside a vent for a fuel-burning appliance. - Never use a generator, charcoal grill, camp stove, or other gasoline or charcoal burning device inside the home, basement, or garage, near a window, or under a tent. - Never use a gas cooking range or oven to heat your home. - Never run a car or truck inside a garage attached to your house, even if the door is left open. - Do not burn anything in a stove or fireplace that is not vented or may be clogged. CO alarms are not substitutes for smoke alarms. Know the difference between the sound of smoke alarms and the sound of CO alarms. Make sure everyone in the home (including guests) knows the sound and understands the warning of smoke and CO alarms and know how to respond. For more information visit: healthvermont. gov.

Parents have been asking me some colorful questions recently about color blindness. Well let me see if I can share my views on this particular topic. Color blindness does not mean a person is blind. It is really a deficiency in color vision that may range from a slight difficulty in telling the difference between different shades of color to not being able to identify any color at all, due to a problem with certain cells in your retina (the back of your eye) needed to see color. Most color blind children can still note differences in pure primary colors, just not the different shades. 8% of males and < 1% of females are color blind most commonly, they have a problem with distinguishing reds and greens. It is usually present at birth, although the problem can worsen with aging. How is it diagnosed? You may note that your child, once they learn their colors, has a hard time telling the difference between red, green, brown and grey or they may have difficulty learning their colors. They may color with unusual choices of crayon for example, Santa may be in a brown rather than red suit. It may not be noticed until your child starts school and the teacher notes problems with colors. If this occurs, your childs doctor may have a test to confirm this problem in their office by

Seeing Color Blindness More Clearly

n n n

asking your child to identify a series of circles filled with colored dots forming a number against a background of other colored dots. People who are color blind cannot see some of the numbers that are easily seen by those not color blind. If the problem is identified, your childs teacher should be made aware and should try to label colors in pictures with words or symbols that can help cue a child with color recognition. Unfortunately, there is not a cure for color blindness but you and your child should not despair. Children who are color blind need to be reassured that this will not affect their ability to learn and do well in school, or hamper their ability to have a successful career as an adult so that color blindness does not hamper their self-esteem. Hopefully tips like this will allow you and your child to see more clearly when it comes to knowing more about color blindness..

A new Chronic Pain Healthier Living Workshop series will be held Mondays, Feb. 11 through March 18 from 10am to 12:30pm at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph. Healthier Living Workshops are six-week classes offered through the Vermont Blueprint for Health for people with chronic conditions and their caregivers. They are offered for free throughout the year by Gifford Medical Center and led by trained facilitators. This new class, being offered for only the second time at Gifford, has a special focus on chronic pain. The workshop will cover coping with chronic illness and chronic pain; how to feel more in control of your pain and health; improving problem solving skills; how to work with health care providers to maximize your ability to manage your illness and pain; how to balance activity and rest; healthy eating; gentle movement exercises and more. Chronic pain includes many types of conditions from a variety of causes. There is no one treatment or approach that is right for everybody. There are a number of things people with chronic pain can do to feel better (to) better manage pain and help you become more active and more involved in life, according to the literature from the Vermont Blueprint for Health. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing for the exercise portion and to sign up soon with Gifford Blueprint Patient Access Coordinator Zach Bean at 7287100, ext. 6.

Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), the Internal Revenue Service has announced that it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30. The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the late tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that the vast majority of tax filers -- more than 120 million households -- should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan 30. The IRS estimates that remaining households will be able to start filing in late February or into March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more complex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension. We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible, IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said. This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems. The IRS will not process paper tax returns before the anticipated Jan. 30 opening date. There is no advantage to filing on paper before the opening date, and taxpayers will receive their tax refunds much faster by using e-file with direct deposit. The best option for taxpayers is to file electronically, Miller said. The opening of the filing season follows passage by Congress of an extensive set of tax changes in ATRA on Jan. 1, 2013, with many affecting tax returns for 2012. While the IRS

IRS Plans Jan. 30 Tax Season Opening For 1040 Filers

worked to anticipate the late tax law changes as much as possible, the final law required that the IRS update forms and instructions as well as make critical processing system adjustments before it can begin accepting tax returns. The IRS originally planned to open electronic filing this year on Jan. 22; more than 80 percent of taxpayers filed electronically last year. Who Can File Starting Jan. 30? The IRS anticipates that the vast majority of all taxpayers can file starting Jan. 30, regardless of whether they file electronically or on paper. The IRS will be able to accept tax returns affected by the late Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch as well as the three major extender provisions for people claiming the state and local sales tax deduction, higher education tuition and fees deduction and educator expenses deduction. Who Cant File Until Later? There are several forms affected by the late legislation that require more extensive programming and testing of IRS systems. The IRS hopes to begin accepting tax returns including these tax forms between late February and into March; a specific date will be announced in the near future. The key forms that require more extensive programming changes include Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits), Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization) and Form 3800 (General Business Credit). A full listing of the forms that wont be accepted until later is available on IRS.gov. As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax professional community to minimize delays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the circumstances. Updated information will be posted on IRS. gov.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury reported last week that 5 million checks continue to be mailed to federal beneficiaries each month. With just two months remaining until the March 1, 2013, electronic payment law goes into effect, the Treasury Department is urging Social Security and other federal benefit recipients to not delay and switch now to either direct deposit or the Direct Express Debit MasterCard card. Choosing direct deposit or the Direct Express card makes it easier, safer and more convenient for beneficiaries to receive their payments. Switching to an electronic payment is not optional its the law, said David Lebryk, commissioner of the Treasury Departments Financial Management Service. If you or a loved one still receive paper checks for your benefit payments, now is the time to switch. Its free and easy just call 1-800-333-1795 or visit www.GoDirect. org. Currently, approximately 93 percent of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are being made electronically. Converting the remaining paper check recipients to electronic payments will save American taxpayers $1 billion over the next 10 years. The Treasury Department published a final rule in December 2010 to gradually phase out paper checks for federal benefit payments. Since May 1, 2011, all people newly applying for federal benefits, including Social Security, SSI, Veterans Affairs, Railroad Retirement Board, Office of Personnel Management benefits and other non-tax payments, have had to choose direct deposit or the Direct Express card at the time they sign up for benefits. March 1, 2013, is the final deadline by which all remaining federal benefit check recipients must receive their money electronically. The Treasury Departments Go Direct public education campaign is working with more than 1,800 partner organizations throughout the coun-

Time Running Out for Seniors and Other Federal Benefit Recipients to Meet March 1 Electronic Payment Deadline

try to spread the message about the electronic payment rule and educate federal benefit recipients about their options. The campaign has developed and shared a variety of public service announcements, educational videos, check inserts and other materials to explain how electronic payments work and how to make the switch from paper checks. The videos and materials are available on the Go Direct campaign website at www.GoDirect.org. The Treasury Department has taken great strides to support and guide check recipients through the change to electronic payments, and were increasing our efforts significantly in the final two months before the deadline, Lebryk said. We have a team of friendly, helpful agents standing by at our call center, and many financial institutions, caregivers, senior services providers and advocates for people who are homeless or have disabilities have the necessary information and resources to help federal benefit recipients make the switch. Check recipients can sign up for direct deposit or the Direct Express card by calling toll-free 1-800-333-1795, visiting www.GoDirect.org, or talking to their local federal paying agency office. The process is fast, easy and free. By taking a few minutes to gather the necessary information ahead of time, most federal benefit recipients can sign up for electronic payments with one phone call. Individuals will need their Social Security number or claim number, their 12-digital federal benefit check number and the amount of their most recent federal benefit check. If choosing direct deposit, recipients also will need their financial institutions routing transit number, (often found on a personal check) account number and account type (checking or saving). There are no sign-up fees or monthly fees to receive benefits

The Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce annual breakfast meeting will focus attention on CENTRAL the next generation of people VERMONT CHAMBER OF and technology, young adults COMMERCE and the gadgets they grew up with, who are now becoming consumers and employees. The meeting will be held in the Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center on January 31, beginning at 7:15am. A slate of five directors will be elected to three-year terms on the board that will be chaired by Susan Kruthers of Central Vermont Medical Center. The Chambers nominating committee has recommended Leslie Sanborn of R&L Archery, Curtis Ostler of Norwich University, Byron Atwood of DMS Machining & Fabrication, Gary Hass of The World, and Jim Breer of Better Home Inspections as the slate. Sanborn is currently a director who will be returning for a second three-year term and for a second year as vice chair of membership.

his experience through the Chambers executive committee. In addition to joining the board, Ostler will share the insights into the Next Generation that he finds on the Norwich campus and elsewhere. He says todays young adults are a different breed with new ways of securing information, of communicating with each other, and of accepting and sharing responsibilities. Failing to engage them can stifle or suffocate a business; reaching them can dramatically improve one. Ostler will call on others to underscore the pitfalls and the potential of the emerging market and labor force. Participants include Lars Hasselblad Torres, founder of Local 64; Keith Paxman, co-owner of the Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen; Gregg Banse, owner of 7th Pixel and web communications manager at Norwich, and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Emily Baugus, a senior student.

The public is welcome. Information and registration are available online at central-vt.com/ chamber/annualmeeting or by calling the Chamber at 229-5711.

Darn Tough Vermont, American manufacturer of the only premium, performance socks with an unconditional lifetime guarantee, reports that 2012 sales and profitability were the best ever in its, and parent company Cabot Hosierys, 34-year history. Darn Tough Vermonts topline was up 54% against 2011, a highly successful year that itself saw record revenues for the company. These results justify the focused approach and success of our strategy, as we reinvested heavily in our company in 2011 and 2012. Our message and product continues to resonate with our customers, and demand continues to grow, said President and CEO Ric Cabot, founder of Darn Tough Vermont. We exceeded sales expectations in all domestic and international territories, and increased our number of distributors. The highly skilled sock-makers in our Northfield, Vermont mill have been critical to Darn Toughs success, and they will continue to produce all our socks as the company grows. A number of new socks over the last year have

contributed to the companys growth and have been enthusiastically received by the market. An ever-expanding womens lifestyle line as well as new ski/ride socks have helped open new accounts and grow others, while the addition of True-Seamless technology to all Ultra Light and the new Light Cushion socks have secured the brands position as the leader in performance socks. New packaging has helped the product stand out on the shelf as well. The company that aims to bring the Sock Capital of the World title to Northfield, Vermont says the relentless pursuit of three sock qualities comfort, fit and durability are the key pillars of its success. The number of stores that we opened up in for 2012 was more than we had planned and it was twice as many as we did in 2011, added Cabot. In a crowded market we are proud to have a product that stands out in a class of its own and we expect to continue exceeding our sales and revenue targets in 2013 as we grow and expand our market share.

A working knowledge of budgeting, basic financial statements and other accounting skills is key to a farm operation's financial well-being. In February the University of Vermont (UVM) Extension New Farmer Project will offer "Introduction to Ag Financial Management" at three Vermont locations.

Participants also will have the opportunity to take part in a financial planning clinic with one-on-one assistance for no extra charge. Classes will be held simultaneously at the UVM Extension offices in Berlin, Middlebury and St. Johnsbury from 1pm to 4pm on Feb. 6, 13 and 20. Each site will have its own instructor. The registration fee is $100 until Jan. 30, when registration closes. Graduates of UVM Extension's Growing Places course are eligible for a discounted registration fee.

For years, it seemed like the Holy Grail. Always so close, yet just out of reach. Central Vermont bird enthusiasts have been working diligently to record 200 species in Washington County in a calendar year, and in 2012, came closer than ever before. Bird sightings throughout the year were recorded by over 100 observers using the online database called eBird. For the most part, records are accepted based on the honor system, but for rare sightings, documentation is often required. The final tally stands at 199 species in 2012, one away from the coveted 200-mark. Every single species is valuable, but rarities are essential to passing the 200-threshold. Following is a list of some central Vermonts best birds of 2012. 1. Varied Thrush Normally found along the west coast, this species occasionally gets very lost and ends up at bird feeders in New England. This was what happened at Mountain Valley Farm in Waitsfield, where owners Gib and Sue Geiger graciously allowed birders to visit and see this unusual bird. 2. Acadian Flycatcher On May 26, Scott & Pat Sainsbury opened up their home to nearly 50 birders from across the state for a morning of breakfast and birding. Among the 64 species observed, the highlight was surely this southern flycatcher, last seen in Vermont over 2 decades

Washington County Still Chasing 200 in Year-long Bird Quest

ago. Congratulations to Chip Darmstadt for discovering this gem! 3. Gray-Cheeked Thrush Part of why this bird, which breeds in Canada, is so rarely recorded in Vermont is because it looks nearly identical to the Bicknells Thrush. When one showed up in a mist net at the North Branch Nature Center, researchers were able to closely examine and measure the bird, confirming that it was in fact the unusual Gray-Cheeked Thrush. 4. Cackling Goose This never-before seen species in Washington County was recorded twice this fall! Looking like a miniature Canada Goose, the cackler can blend in very well to large goose flocks. Excellent work to Craig Provost and Ken Benton for identifying these hard-to-find birds! 5. Golden Eagle This species is always rare in Vermont, but most frequently seen in the fall during migration. It came as a great surprise when Eric Cannizzaro, a participant of the Plainfield Christmas Bird Count, managed to spot one soaring overhead. Will 2013 be the year that we finally surpass 200 species? For more information on Washington Countys birds, and to help get involved in 2013s Bird Quest, visit www.

Editor: It has come to pass that I am forced to speak up and not keep my mouth shut anymore. The topic? Other peoples' dog crap on my lawn and dogs not on a leash! Sorry folks, but when walking your dogs, please bring a plastic bag with you to clean up after it! We have a dog and truly love it just like a part of the family. When we walk our dog, we always clean up after it, and its always on a leash after all, it is polite to do so! I live in Graniteville (part of Town of Barre) right on the Williamstown town line. There IS a leash law in Barre Town, and I quote, Effective March 7, 2007 there is a leash law in Barre Town. This can be found at www.barretown.org/Pages/dept/ admin/dog.html. In Williamstown, the leash law states, RUNNING AT LARGE: all dogs and wolf hybrids within the Town of Williamstown shall be restrained from running at large off the property of the owner. A dog or wolf hybrid shall be deemed to be restrained from running at large when it is kept within an enclosure on the property of its owner or keeper or is kept on a leash, or is under the immediate control of a competent and responsible attendant.That can be found at www.williamstownvt.org/dog_pet_ordinance.html. The short of it is this: Keep your dog on a leash, dont let it run loose off from your property, and when youre walking it (on a leash), please clean up after it! I WILL enforce this by reporting to the authorities if this is not

Editor: All Vermonters who are able to drive cars deserve the opportunity to earn drivers licenses - regardless of where they were born or their citizenship status. It's perfectly legal and shouldn't even be an issue. I grew up in Massachusetts and lived in Pennsylvania and Maine before moving to Vermont several months ago to take a job with a non-profit in Montpelier. It seems so arbitrary to me that, while nobody questions my right to drive, other folks who are new to Vermont are denied this basic right just because they come from a little farther away. When hardworking undocumented Vermonters are prohibited from getting licenses, in practical terms, this means that if they are caught behind the steering wheel, our government will punish them just for traveling to the doctor's office, the grocery store or even taking a simple trip to see family. Vermont was built by immigrants, both documented and undocumented, and today, so much of the essential and difficult work that sustains Vermont's rich agricultural tradition is being done by people from other countries. The last thing we should be doing is punishing these people - is that really how Vermonters want to treat their new neighbors? Personally, I'd rather see my new legislators vote to make sure that my tax dollars go toward making sure that everybody driving in Vermont is registered. It's the only way to keep our roads safe and fair. Rob Korobkin Barre

had sort of promised myself not to think so much about the gas prices in 2013, but early in this new year, I changed my tune! Here is what happened Malcolm and I decided to take a trip to the Barre-Montpelier Road and do a few chores that we had been saving up to do. One was to go to the new Petco and buy several bags of dog food for Rufus and Lily. So, we got off 89 and came down the hill and once on the Barre-Montpelier Road, realized that we needed gas. Then we noticed that the convenience store/gas station that we often use had a gas price of $3.41. Wow, I thought, that is a lot lower than the price of gas in the Mad River Valley... a lot lower. As I pointed it out, Malcolm said yes we would get our gas there, but we should go to Petco first. Now it was about 1:45pm, I think. So, he went and bought the dog food and I stopped in TJ Maxx and bought my granddaughter a pair of pants that she wanted for her birthday. After our purchases, we got back into the car and went back onto the Barre-Montpelier Rd. and planned on stopping and buying our gas. Now, probably 45 minutes had elapsed and what do you think we saw? In that 45 minutes, the price of gas had gone from $3.41 to $3.57! And I kid you not, I thought that perhaps I had had a brain fart and that the gas never really was $3.41, at least, not just 45 minutes ago. But Malcolm told me that I was correct, that in that mere 45 minutes the price had gone up 16-17 cents. Had a World War been declared while we bought dog food? What in the world had happened that made it possible to raise the price to consumers by that much in only 45 minutes? Well, we decided not to buy our gas there but to drive on and see what else was happening, gas price-wise as we drove down the road. And what we saw made the answer all that more confusing.

Reisss Pieces I
By Judy Reiss

As we approached a small convenience store on River Road where we sometimes purchase gas, we saw that their price was $3.42. So, I can only assume that no one told them about the horror or whatever it was that caused the price of gas right in the middle of the busiest shopping area to go up so much. We swerved right in and filled our tank. And is this the end of the story? Of course not. As we drove along and headed toward the Montpelier entrance to highway 89, we saw another chain gas station with the price of $3.41! But what I found most interesting was the four gas stations right after this particular one all had prices of about $3.57 to $3.59. What in the world is going on with the price of our gas? And I dont know about you, but I just dont have time to troll up and down and look at the prices at various gas purveyors. Not only that, I certainly dont want to use up more gas while looking for the least expensive. Now, I am thinking about our elected officials, at least here in Vermont, and I wonder what they are doing that is more important than figuring out what the deal is with the various and varying prices of gas. All of us consumers know that there is only really one reason for such fluctuation, and the answer is money and greed! As long as consumers continue to pay the exorbitant prices, they will remain at exorbitant levels. And, of course, most places here in Vermont make a vehicle necessary. We dont have the mass transit opportunities that many other areas of the country have, so buying gas is not a luxury. And I would like to see our legislature and our well-traveled governor take up the issue of affordable gas for their constituents. Am I wrong? If you think that I am just an old, complaining woman, just drop me a note and explain to me how gas can go up 16, 17, or 18 cents a gallon in less than an hour. Believe me, I would just love to know.

East Montpelier: The Youngest Town in Washington County

he land that ultimately was to become East Montpelier was claimed by New York and New Hampshire. The earliest governmental organization was by New York who called the town Kilby. The New York charter, or patent, in 1770 said that, All mines of gold and silver, and also all white or other source of pine trees fit for the masts of the growth of 24 inches diameter and upwards at 12 inches belong to the Royal Navy of Great Britain. This tract of land that was to become East Montpelier was part of the New York County of Albany. The New York charter spoke to the election of town officials, described methods of filling vacancies, listed requirements of family settlement, and the cultivation of land. When Vermont became a Republic and declared its independence from New York and Great Britain, the Vermont legislature in order to raise revenue chartered many towns, including that of Montpelier. The Vermont charter required each proprietor to cultivate five acres of land and build a house at least 18 feet square or have one family settled on each respective right within the term of three years on penalty of forfeiture of each respective right. The charter was signed by Governor Thomas Chittenden. East Montpelier is the youngest town in Washington County. It was split off from Montpelier by act of the legislature in 1848 and contains almost 19,000 acres, about 80 percent of the original town of Montpelier. While the legal voters of the village wanted the division, or separation, the division was opposed by the town. The bill for separation was introduced in the Senate on November 6, 1848. Those for the passage of the bill argued The inhabitants of the village... had a just claim to be set off on account of a hardship of being compelled to travel so far uphill to town meeting, of having been deprived of their fair portion of highway taxes, and thus been subjected to bad streets and roads, an evil to which they would still be exposed while the east part of the town held the balance of power.. that the state had an interest in having good streets in the village where the legislature meet annually, and that it was unreasonable to refuse to place the village in a situation to make the desired improvements. Those opposed to the division argued, It was contrary to the precedent established here to divide towns without previous notice and action in town meetings, that it would be hasty legislation, and lead to many evils by way of bad precedent and future calls for divisions of towns without valid reason, and that it would be unjust to the hill portion of the town which had resisted the application to this division. According to Ellen Hill and Marilyn Blackwell, authors of Across the Onion, the division in the long run worked to the advantage of both town and city. As time passed, the people of East Montpelier began to realize that there were compensating benefits from being detached from the village (City of Montpelier). The new town still held the majority of the land area, including the prime farm land, and its share of prominent men and leaders. The town could now devote its attention to its own bridges, roads, and schools without having to take into account the needs of the city. Its representatives in the legislature, coming from a farm district, would better serve rural interests. In the next century, the city spent its revenues on paved roads, streetlights, water mains, and sewer systems, projects that the farmers of East Montpelier were certainly not interested in supporting. At one time, East Montpelier had 11 school districts. District two, the Cutler School, was off Town Hill Road. School district three, East Hill, was on the Barre Country Club Road and school

district four, North Montpelier School, was up the hill from the mill and the post office off Route 14. School district five, Four Corners School, was near the present elementary school; school district six, the Center School, was at the Old Meeting House; and school district eight was at the Horn of the Moon, now a private residence. School district ten, the Peck School, is now a private residence on the road to Adamant. School district 11, the Morse School, was on the west side of County Road, and school district 12, the Cummings School, was on Cummings Road near County Road. School district 14, known as the Nutt School, was established in 1819 near 1 Conti Circle, Barre, Vermont 05641 the junction of Murray Road and Town Hill. That district allowed (802) 476-9490 / Fax (802) 476-7018 children from both the city and the town to attend. Districts 13, 15 and 16 were part of the City of Montpelier. In 1839, the Center School ruled that No scholars out of the district would be admitted to attend schools unless some inhabitants of the district be in want of a boy or girl to do chores for their board. In INDIVIDUAL, SELF-EMPLOYED, RENTAL, SMALL BUSINESS 1836, the East Village School voted that the school directors Experienced - Confidential Guaranteed would have the right to receive LOCAL Year Round Support pupils at 17 cents per week for the winter term and 8 cents per _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ week summer term. In 1888, there were 177 pupils who attended the public schools. Of the ten school districts operating at that time, there were one male and 15 female teachers.

"Big" John spent much of his life working in the forests and had a great reverence for the forests he cared for. He felt personally responsible to the Creator as to how he managed the land under his care. John enjoyed all of the creation that surrounded him. John found great comfort in reading and studying God's word and applying its council in his life. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, he spent much of his time showing others what the Bible teaches to help us with current struggles and educating others about the Bible's promises for the future by means of God's Kingdom. He will be missed for his humor, wisdom, convictions and his "signature" farewell, "Have a Happy!" A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, at 2pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2070 Airport Road, Berlin. MCGUIRE, MARGARET M., of Rutland, died January 15, peacefully at home, in the company of her family. She was the daughter of John J. and Helen (Finn) McMahon, born in Barre on April 23, 1920. Margaret attended Barre schools and graduated from Spaulding High School in 1937. In 1939, she graduated from Northampton Commercial College, Northampton, Mass., and worked in the secretarial field until she enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Sept. 26, 1942. She was a member of the first class of WAVEs and assigned to the Naval Air Station in San Diego, and was discharged Feb. 7, 1946. On July 19, 1947, she married William A. McGuire, of Graniteville. He predeceased her on April 11, 1995. They resided in Burlington and Milton until his work took them to the Washington, D.C. area in 1961. In November 2008, she moved to Rutland. Margaret met her husband when she was employed by the VT National Guard, Camp Johnson. She was a loving mother who took her homemaking responsibilities seriously. When her children were old enough, she returned to the workforce. She enjoyed every opportunity for adventures in learning, and encouraged her children to follow suit. She enjoyed art, music, photography, sewing, pottery, travel and "sightseeing." Margaret held memberships in St. Ann's Society Milton, a painting club in Milton, Hibernians in Annandale, Va., and the Potomac Valley Irish Wolfhound Club in Northern Virginia. She also volunteered to help people in need. Margaret is survived by her seven children, Maureen McGuire, of Newport Center, Sheila Johnson, of LaGrange, Ill., Kathleen Dolan, of Troy, N.Y., Monica McGuire, of Ranson, W.Va., Thomas McGuire, of Granby, Conn., Barbara McGuire and Michael McGuire, of Rutland; and five grandchildren and their families. She is also survived by many in-laws, nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Margaret was predeceased by her sisters, Elizabeth LeClair and Clare McMahon;

TORREY, R. RICHARD "DICK," 81, of Waterbury Center, passed away surrounded by his family on January 16, following a brief illness. Born in Burlington on July 6, 1931, he was the son of the late Willis E. and Edna (Weidenbacker) Torrey. On June 27, 1954, Dick married the former Chandamarie "Chanda" Laplant in Waterbury. Dick attended Richmond schools and then went on to continue work at his family's dairy farm in Richmond. He later worked on a dairy farm in Shelburne before coming to Waterbury to operate the Laplant Farm in Waterbury Center. In 1957, Dick started a new vocation when he began working for Steele's Inc. in Waterbury. There, he became a well-known master plumber and LP technician throughout the greater central Vermont area, a career that spanned 36 years. Dick retired in 1993. A longtime snowmobile enthusiast, Dick was active with both the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers and the Stowe Snowmobile Club where he spent many hours throughout the year maintaining and developing trails. Dick's family lovingly remembers him for his devotion to his family and the pride he took in attending his children's, and later his grandchildren's, sporting events. He took great joy in vegetable gardening and was known for his garlic. He was an avid Celtics fan, and in his spare time he enjoyed tinkering on and restoring his antique tractors. He and Chanda also enjoyed

traveling, particularly their trip across the U. S. three years ago. Dick is survived by his wife of 58 years, Chanda Torrey, of Waterbury Center; their children, Tona Bombard and husband, Kevin, of Fayston, Tina Mandigo and husband, Paul, of Stowe, Tela Torrey and companion, Brad Sabin, of Waterbury, Tim Torrey and wife, Kate, of Johnson; two grandchildren; his cat, Miss Kitty; as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family. Dick was predeceased by four brothers and two sisters. TYO, GARY REGINALD "BO," of Barre, died January 16. He was born in Massena, N.Y., June 12, 1943, the son of Aletha and Reginald Tyo. He was raised in the Massena/Helena, N.Y., area and had lived in Barre since 1987. He married Laurey M. Highter on Aug. 13, 1966. He graduated from DeGoesbriand School of X-ray in Burlington in 1965. He worked in the field of X-ray in Syracuse and Utica, N.Y., and was the director of diagnostic imaging at Central Vermont Medical Center, retiring in 2002 after working there 15 years. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golf and watching any and all sports, especially his New York Giants. Survivors include his wife, Laurey; daughter Tricia Tyo and husband, Jim, of Waterbury; son Craig Tyo, of Yulee, Fla.; daughter Morgan and husband, Einar, of Valdez, Alaska; seven grandchildren; four siblings, Judy Durant, of Helena, N.Y., Jack Tyo and Reginald Tyo, both of Massena, N.Y., and Tom Tyo, of Warners, N.Y.; and many nieces and nephews. He loved his family, especially the grandchildren who were a bright light in his life. He was predeceased by his parents, Aletha and Reginald Tyo.

Few would likely pick a bad death. But what is a good death and how do you choose one? Those are the questions regional hospice and health care experts will address at a Thursday, Jan. 31 event at Gifford Medical Center titled What is a Good Death? The talk, a free community discussion open to all, is from 5-6:30pm in the Randolph hospitals Conference Center. Presenting in an interactive discussion framed by both personal and professional experiences will be Brookfield music therapist Islene Runningdeer, Gifford palliative care nurse John Young, and BAYADA Home Health Care hospice nurse Cynthia Stadler. Gifford mental health practitioner Cory Gould is organizing the event as a member of the hospitals Advanced Illness Care Team, comprised of doctors, nurses, hospice agency representatives and others who all focus on providing high quality palliative and hospice care both within and outside of the hospital. Gould turns to a 2009 New York Times article to describe a bad death. In it, a bad death is thought of as a prolonged one, where costly medical interventions poured into the last months of life extend dying without providing quality of life, considering patient wishes or accounting for what most seek comfort and dignity. According to a study by the Debate of the Age Health and Care Study Group and widely used today, the principles of a good death are: - To know when death is coming, and to understand what can be expected - To be able to retain control of what happens - To be afforded dignity and privacy - To have control over pain relief and other symptom management - To have choice and control over where death occurs (at home or elsewhere) - To have access to information and expertise of whatever kind is necessary - To have access to any spiritual or emotional support required - To have access to hospice care in any location, not only in a

hospital - To have control over who is present and who shares the end - To be able to issue advance directives, which ensure wishes are respected - To have time to say goodbye, and control over other aspects of timing - To be able to leave when it is time to go, and not to have life prolonged pointlessly These are the fundamental principles, but how does one attain that? Gould asks. Event presenters will address and expand upon these topics. One tool presented will be Dr. Ira Byocks four phrases for improving life and death. Those four things, as he calls them, are Please forgive me, I forgive you, Thank you and I love you. Dr. Byock is a renowned palliative care physician, author and the director of palliative medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Theres a lot of life at the end, says Gould, noting a death can be a celebration of the life lived. People have a hard time thinking about that, but death is natural and were all going there. And its way better if we plan for it. Gould sees anyone benefiting from the talk, but says those who feel or know someone who is closer to the end than the beginning will especially benefit. This discussion follows a November talk where dozens came out in treacherous weather to Start the Conversation. Following What is a Good Death? will be two more community discussions: Grief: The Price We Pay for Love on Feb. 28 and Afterwards: The Business of Dying on March 28. Participants may attend one or all events. No registration is required and all events are free. Gould can be reached at (802) 728-7100, ext. 7, to answer any questions.

Happy Anniversary

FROM

Newly engaged couples choose to capture the occasion in photos that they can cherish. Often, one of these photos is used as an announcement to family and friends and might even be published in the newspaper. Engagement photos may be part of a package this copy with the phonegotiated is from 1-27-10 will be tographer who covering the wedding day. Some couples enlist the help of a friend or a budding photographer to capture an engagement shot. The average cost of engagement photos can range from $200 to $500. Some couples opt to use a photographer who might specialize in other areas (i.e. fashion models) but may want to break into the wedding biz because of how lucrative it can be. Costs may be negotiated as a result. When shopping around for a photographer, there are certain things couples should keep in mind. The first and most important is selecting a photographer you can relate to. If you dont feel a connection with the photographer, he or she will have trouble coaxing the shots that will produce the best results. He or she should also be a professional and have some experience working with posing couples. This way the photos dont look stiff or contrived. Here are some other tips that can lead to great photos. * Find a photographer who fits your style. If youre a quirky couple, go with a quirky photographer. If youre reserved and a follow-the-book type of couple, then select a more traditional photographer. Some photographers out there forget that this is your moment and want to impart their idea of what you want. Make sure he or she takes your ideas into consideration. * Select one who is open to different shoot locations and brainstorming. Some of the best photos occur in natural settings, where things arent entirely planned. If a photographer simply works out of a studio, you may want to select one who has more free reign with different locales. * Choose your location wisely. Certain locations will stand out in your minds because they are visually stunning or are special places where you have spent moments as a couple. By choosing a place that offers a personal connection, theres a good chance youll appreciate the photos in the long run. Also, be open to the fact that unplanned stops may offer a great background for the image. Be open to the unexpected. * Try random poses and some candid shots. Although you might have a vision of the perfect photo in your mind, experimenting with different ideas can sometimes lead to a great photo you really love. Expect to take your share of kissing, nose-touching and portrait shots. But some fun poses, such as running or jumping (or rolling around on a beach full of waves) can produce candid shots that are truly masterpieces. Remember, sometimes photographers will pose you in positions that seem a bit awkward, but this is to get the best lines of the body and flattering images. * Choose clothing that fits the mood. If time and budget allows, have several different wardrobe changes so that you can see which outfits work and which ones dont. A formal outfit, comfortable street clothes, something beachy or clothing that fits with your interests (such as polo or baseball) can make for interesting engagement photos. Avoid clothing that is too trendy or busy, which may take away from the actual images in the long run. Plus, you dont want to look back at these photos in the future and say, Whatforget... 9-5 Sally Fontaine, Walden Dont was Ithinking? Avoid matchy-matchy, though.

Proofin Ibuprofen: How To Use It Safely

ore than 20 million Americans and Canadians take ibuprofen every day, often popping the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) before they exercise or do heavy-duty chores -- to prevent muscle aches and pains. But a recent report says ibuprofen plus strenuous activity may be bad news for your intestines; it seems to trigger what docs call leaky gut. Long periods of very strenuous activity reduce blood flow to your digestive system (your body needs that blood elsewhere!). This makes the lining of your intestines vulnerable to injury. Ibuprofen further reduces your bodys ability to protect and repair that lining. Combine these two effects, and the lining of the intestines becomes compromised, which can allow digestive enzymes and even bacteria to migrate from your intestines into your bloodstream. Thats what Dutch scientists recently concluded when they found that endurance athletes who take ibuprofen before they exercise had elevated levels of a protein that signaled intestinal leakage into the bloodstream. But they also found that the elevated protein levels disappeared about an hour after exercising stopped. So, no one is positive if this phenomenon does lasting damage. Theres even some thought that a short blast of unexpected visitors in the bloodstream could help prime your immune system to better fight off invaders. But considering that up to 90 percent of endurance athletes take ibuprofen before most work-outs and that so many other folks rely on it from time to time or daily, we recommend a new approach to managing exercise-related discomfort or pain. Heres our advice: Ease into heavy-duty activity. Weekend warriors, listen up. Instead of going from zero (you on the couch) to 100 mph (you doing a two-hour boot-camp exercise class or all-day yard work), make sure you get some exercise every day. Do a little bit (30 additional minutes of walking a day); then add a little bit more (each week, increase by 10 to 15 minutes per day); and then do even a little more (youre aiming for a total of 10,000 steps a day). When you build strength and endurance gradually, your muscles

will sustain less microtrauma -- microscopic tears and swellings -- which translates into major aches the day after. Its the best way to minimize delayed muscle soreness. Reserve NSAIDs for swelling and pain. Over-the-counter NSAIDs are effective pain relievers, but they are intended for only shortterm use. Never use an over-the-counter NSAID for more than 10 days, and make sure you take the dose as outlined on the label. Dont take extra (more than 25 percent of you do). And dont take these medications more frequently than recommended. Almost twothirds of you do that! Already achy? Chill out. Use indirect cold on tired muscles as soon as you can after exercising. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a towel for 20 minutes or less discourages excess inflammation and reduces pain dramatically. Save heat for later on; using a heating pad set on low for a short time will increase circulation and encourage healing. Heat is also a good soother for aching joints. What if youre taking aspirin daily? Many folks take aspirin for its benefits against cancer, heart attack and stroke; if thats you, by all means, stay with it. (We take aspirin with a half-glass of warm water before and after; it helps the aspirin dissolve faster, reducing the risk of stomach and intestinal bleeding and your risk of distress.) Just make sure to take the aspirin more than two hours before or one hour after you exercise. We havent pointed it out recently, but aspirin really is a miracle pill, and so is ibuprofen. But taking the two together seems to cancel out their anticancer and anti-heart attack benefits, so stay with aspirin if your doc approves (since there are potential side effects, always check with your doc). If you must take ibuprofen also, do it 30 minutes before you take aspirin or eight hours afterward.

Healthy snacks can boost energy levels and help provide the nutrients your kids need to stay alert all day at school and play. Yet kids dont always make the right choices when picking a snack. When a snack attack strikes, will your kids reach for a bag of potato chips or a piece of fruit? One of the best ways to get your kids to eat healthier is to encourage them to actively participate in grocery shopping, says Whitney Emke, a University of Vermont Extension 4-H Afterschool Program Coordinator based in Middlebury. Its never too early to start teaching them about good nutrition and why some food choices are better than others. Show them how to read the nutritional information on the package and make wise food selections based on that information. Explain why foods containing fiber such as whole-grain breads and cereals, fruit and vegetables, for example, are a better choice than sugarladen foods including soft drinks and candy bars. Combining these high-fiber foods with peanut butter, low-fat yogurt or cheese and other protein-rich foods also will help boost nutrition.

Help Your Kids Make Healthier Snack Choices

Involve kids in the kitchen. Set aside time together to do prep work for snacks, such as washing, chopping and portioning. Assign ageappropriate tasks whenever possible. Younger kids can help wash fruits and vegetables while their older siblings can chop them up. Before long drives and shopping trips, pack fresh fruit, cut-up vegetables, low-fat string cheese sticks, unsalted nuts, granola bars and bottled water in a small insulated lunch box or cooler, Emke advises. Having healthier options available for hungry kids reduces the chance of having to stop at fast-food restaurants. Keep plastic containers of ready-to-eat fruits, vegetables and cheese in the refrigerator along with low-fat dressings and dips. Kids can help themselves to these snacks after school. Snack time is a good time to introduce new foods. Letting them choose their own nutritious for 1-23 snacks also will get them interested in eating healthy.

Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise like walking, swimming or biking has many health benefits. Regular aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of many conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, stroke and certain types of cancer. Weight-bearing aerobic exercise like walking can also reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It can help keep arteries clear by increasing HDL (good cholesterol) and lowering LDL (bad cholesterol). It boosts mood, keeps off extra weight and increases stamina. Be sure to check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

Smoky Tomato Soup

1 Tbs. olive oil 3 thick strips bacon (about 3 oz.), thinly sliced 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1-1/2 c.) Kosher salt 1 Tbs. unbleached all-purpose flour 1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme 1/2 tsp. sweet or hot pimentn (smoked paprika) One 28-oz. can whole tomatoes and their juices (3 c.) (preferably San Marzano) 2 c. lower-salt chicken broth 2 Tbs. heavy cream Freshly ground black pepper Put the oil in a large saucepan, add the bacon, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon renders most of its fat, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels; let drain and cool, and then coarsely chop. Add the onion and 1/2 tsp. salt to the pan and cook, stirring, until the onion softens and starts to brown lightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, 2 tsp. thyme, and the pimentn, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Helping Norwich Stay On Top Of Its Game

By Tom Herzig teve Mattson is making a list and hes checking it twice or more likely, several times over. As an assistant coach of Norwich Universitys mens hockey team, Mattson has the key responsibility of recruiting student athletes for one of the most successful Division III programs in the nation. Under the direction of head coach Mike McShane, Norwich has won three NCAA Division III national championships (2000, 2003 and 2010) and 10 ECAC East Conference Tournaments, including three in a row over the past three seasons. After Babson College recently handed the Cadets a rare loss on home ice, coach Jamie Rice praised Norwich as the bellwether team in our conference, perhaps the nation. Continually competing at the highest level requires a steady influx of talent, which is where Mattson comes in. My primary function is to go out and get players to come to Norwich, Mattson said, Then I oversee them for the four years they are here. That can involve class schedules, academic performance, girlfriend problems, financial issues just about everything but where and when they play - thats up to Mike. Its as if I Norwich Assistant Mens Hockey have 28 sons each year. Coach Steve Mattson Mattson is a Weston, Mass. native and a Norwich graduate (77) who played two years of varsity hockey, but the career path to his current position was circuitous. Upon graduating from Norwich the last thing on my mind was being involved in hockey, Mattson said. I went straight to California and worked as a steward for Continental Airlines for eight years. I got laid off, went to Florida where my grandmother lived and got a job bartending on a cruise ship. That ran its course and I went back to LA to be an actor. I studied at the Charles Conrad Studio (it worked for Jack Nicholson and Robert Duvall), appeared in the film Repo Man and took a night job out of the Beverly Hills Hotel as a limo driver. Do I have any good stories from that job? Yes, but not for print. I eventually took a job teaching and after a couple of years, began looking for teaching/coaching jobs on the East Coast, thinking that I might coach soccer, hockey or lacrosse, Mattson said. I wound up in a two-year graduate program at St. Michaels where I assisted hockey coach Lou DiMasi. I stayed on for seven years before returning to Norwich to work with coach McShane. Mattson agrees, to a point, that a good recruiter has to be a good salesman. I feel this way, he said. I dont think that Ive ever talked a kid out of a better opportunity. I think what Ive done is expose prospects to what Norwich has to offer. What happens is that at the end of their process if they, or more importantly their parents, feel that Norwich is the best opportunity, they choose us. You try to say, listen, this is what were all about, Mattson continued. Were a military school. Theres a civilian component, but the military part creates a conservative atmosphere. Were up front about what to expect. Typically, a Division III player may not have every component of a complete Division I player, Mattson explained. Perhaps they may not be quite big enough or quite fast enough or have not

Senior Kyle Thomas hopes to lead Norwich to 4th national title

scored enough goals to be a Division I prospect. So youre getting maybe four of five key factors at the Division III level. Theres definitely a grey area to the evaluation. I think we would fare fine with about one-third of the Division I schools. The top players at various Division III schools would do well in Division I. The Internet has made it easier for players to inquire about schools and get their information out there, Mattson said. Thats important because recruiters are trying to see prospects as efficiently as they can. If I go to a tournament in Marlboro, Mass. or travel to Ontario, in three days I can see 50 players who could play here. There are, for example, some good players in Texas, but youd have to scour the state and spend a lot of time and money. Mattson noted that academic achievement and financial resources are key factors. Division III schools, like Norwich are not allowed, by NCAA rule, to offer athletic scholarships. Recruits may be awarded a merit scholarship or other grants based on financial need. At Norwich, its very black and white, he said. Merit scholarships are evaluated on the basis of a persons GPA, SAT scores and choice of major. Theres nothing about athletic ability in that equation. Division II schools are more apt to pay attention to someone with excellent grades, Mattson said. We lose some kids to their in-state schools because of the cost factor. A resident can go to UMass Boston, which is in our conference, for about $12,000. Tuition and room and board at Norwich exceed $40,000 a year. When recruiting, you find out who handles the money and get them involved in the process, Mattson emphasized. Thats where your true read is going to come. The priority is to fill spots opened by graduation, Mattson said. This year, we graduate five forwards, including four of our top five scorers. Asked to name some players who far exceeded expectations upon arrival in Northfield, Mattson offered senior standout Kyle Thomas, goalie Ryan Klingensmith, who played on the 2010 championship team, and Keith Aucoin (01), who now plays in the NHL for the New York Islanders. Kyles athleticism stood out, but he had not played a lot of hockey and was not highly recruited, Mattson said. We knew he could play for us, but we didnt project him as a 60-goal scorer. Ryan began as a third goalie, picked from intramurals as a practice goalie. He understood his role, but he never really settled for it. He just outworked everybody and by his junior year developed into a tremendous goalie. I arrived after Aucoin graduated, but Im told his improvement from his first season to his second was exceptional. Steve has an excellent way with recruits, coach McShane said. He is a likable guy who works at finding and bringing to Norwich gifted student athletes that fit the Norwich profile. And yes, Thomas did a little more than expected.

Agri-Mark is a dairy cooperative that works yearround for higher farm milk prices, better markets and effective dairy legislation on behalf of our Northeast dairy farm families, including more than 300 from Vermont. Agri-Mark farmers are building great dairy markets here in Vermont by owning and operating two large dairy manufacturing plants in Cabot and Middlebury. These facilities help co-op farmers to invest in and expand the sales and profitability of their Cabot brand of award-winning dairy products. Agri-Mark had yet another strong year of profits for its farmer-owners in 2012 and the future continues to looks bright! For more information about working with other dairy farmers for higher farm milk prices, visit our web site at www.agrimark.net or contact our Membership Department toll-free at 1-800-225-0532.

n this large diverse country, it is hard to find something that we all agree on. The one time I can remember all Americans coming together in united support of something was May 1, 2011 - the day Osama Bin Laden was killed. I remember when the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball announcers interrupted the Phillies/Mets game I was watching to inform viewers of what had happened. When they announced the news on the Jumbotron scoreboard, The Citizens Bank Park crowd erupted in applause. The last thing I expected to hear that night was the sound of Philadelphia fans and New York fans cheering together for the same thing. Osama Bin Ladens death made it happen. And I cheered, too. Despite the fact that I am a pacifist. Despite the fact that I was against the invasion of Afghanistan and still am. I am a peacenik. But I know that this world is a better place now that Osama Bin Laden is no longer a part of it. And I am proud that the United States government tracked him down and killed him. However, I dont particularly care how they did it.

Zero Dark Thirty

HH

I plan on eating a breakfast sandwich this morning. I am fully aware that the creation of that sandwich involved the death of a living being. I am aware that they had to crack a few eggs. I dont need to - and dont want to - watch an entire movie about the making of that sandwich. That is what Zero Dark Thirty felt like: a 2 1/2 hour movie about the making of a Sausage McMuffin with Egg. Zero Dark Thirty is over-long and over-rated. It follows nine tedious years in the life of a tireless CIA agent - Maya (Jessica Chastain) - as she interrogates a bunch of prisoners in Pakistan and follows a bunch of leads. Kathryn Bigelow is the only female filmmaker who directs mainstream dramas. But her movies are conspicuously lacking in anything resembling girl stuff. For example, Maya is the only redhead within a two thousand mile radius and we are expected to believe that she went an entire decade without anyone asking her out. Im not buying it. What Zero Dark Thirty desperately needed was an ounce of humanity. We know nothing of Mayas personal life. Or her sense of humor. Or her family. Does she have a family? To the real people who risked their lives to kill Osama Bin Laden, I say thank you! We are better off now that he is dead. I wish he had never existed. I kind of feel the same way about this movie.

The efforts of men and women in the military is something everyone, be it fellow military personnel or civilians, can appreciate. In an effort to protect their country and stabilize other countries, service members make many sacrifices, including leaving their families for long periods of time. As a result, life is not always easy for military families. Husbands and wives miss their spouses and children miss their parents. In addition, military personnel typically move a lot, making it difficult to establish roots in a community. But there are ways civilians can lend a helping hand to military families. * Volunteer. Many volunteer organizations provide services to military families, and these organizations rely on volunteers to keep those programs and services running. Whether volunteering your time, expertise in a certain field or simply making a financial dona-

How Civilians Can Lend Military Families A Helping Hand

tion, such efforts will be appreciated and will help these important programs continue to meet the needs of military families who need your help. * Offer discounts. Local business owners who operate their businesses in areas with large military populations can offer discounts to service members and their families. Many service members are not well compensated, and discounts on certain products or services can go a long way toward helping military families make ends meet. * Be flexible with employees. Business owners who employ the immediate family of service members can be flexible with respect to scheduling. Service members who are deployed dont always make it home for the holidays, and their leave from service isnt always convenient. But their family members cherish the time they do get with them, so employers can be sympathetic to this and give them some flexibility with respect to their schedule during times when their loved one is on leave. * Make a military family part of your family. If a neighbor is in a military family and their spouse or significant other is deployed, invite them over for dinner once a week and include them in your holiday celebrations if theyre spending the holidays alone because of a deployment. This can help quell the loneliness many military spouses or significant others cope with. A weekly meal with friends and neighbors can add some normalcy to a lifestyle that is often anything but normal. * Offer some babysitting services. Those whose spouse or significant other is deployed often find it difficult to get out of the house for a night out with friends or even just some alone time. Offer

to babysit or set up a play date with your kids and the child of a military family. This provides a much-needed break that can help men and women recharge their batteries and let off some steam. * Provide a helping hand around the house. While it only takes one person to run a household, its certainly easier when two people are around to handle such a big responsibility. Civilians can provide a helping hand around the house by offering to mow the lawn or make minor repairs should a problem arise. When heading over, bring some food along and give a service members spouse or significant other a night off from cooking. More information about helping military families can be found at www.militaryfamily.org.

Volunteering is a great way for people to give back to their communities. Its also a great way for parents to instill character in their children. When kids volunteer, they learn lessons about responsibility while also learning how enjoyable it can be to help the less fortunate. Kids who volunteer early in life are more likely to do so throughout their lives, and that lifetime of service can be invaluable. The right volunteering opportunity for a child often depends on the childs age, as some opportunities are better suited to younger children while others are tailor-made for teenagers. The following are a few age-appropriate ideas that can help get kids excited about volunteering and giving back to their neighborhoods.

Getting Kids To Volunteer

some volunteer activities of their own. Instead of accompanying kids to the food bank, let them work a shift on their own. Kids who have been volunteering since early childhood might have some volunteering goals of their own by the time they reach middle school, so dont insist they continue with current activities if theres something else sparking their interest. Kids might want to help an elderly neighbor around the house, such as shopping for groceries or taking care of their property. Encourage such ideas, and expect kids to want to exercise some independence when they reach middle school. High school students High school students tend to have busy schedules, but those who have been volunteering since childhood will likely find a way to continue doing so. Teenagers tend to have more specific interests than younger children, and parents can encourage teens to incorporate those interests into their volunteering. For example, kids who love sports might be able to work with the local sports and recreation center to coach younger athletes. Or kids who excel in the classroom can tutor younger students. Volunteering can look good on a high school students resume when the time comes to apply for college, but parents should be careful that their high school-aged children dont stretch themselves too thin with extracurricular activities. Encourage volunteering but not at the expense of schoolwork. Many children embrace volunteering, especially when given the chance to choose how they want to give back to their communities and the less fortunate.

Elementary school children When kids reach elementary school, parents should introduce them to volunteering. Volunteering activities for school-aged kids should be simple, such as accompanying their parents to food banks where kids can help feed the homeless and less fortunate. Kids with grandparents living in assisted living facilities can read to residents at the facility or bring them homemade arts and crafts or even foods they helped prepare (just be sure to clear any items with the facilitys medical staff before distributing). These tasks are simple, and kids wont feel nervous when accompanied by Mom and Dad. Middle school children When kids reach middle school, they might not feel its necessary for Mom and Dad to tag along as much. This is perfectly alright, and its a great time for kids to branch out and choose

Many men and women feel a need to give back to their communities. While a financial donation to a local charity or nonprofit organization can certainly go a long way, some men and women prefer to donate their time and skills via volunteering. Finding the right volunteering opportunity is a great way to ensure the experience is satisfying for you and those you will be working with. In addition, the right opportunity can evolve into a long-term relationship with a particular charity or nonprofit organization, providing a lifetime of positive experiences along the way. When looking for a volunteering opportunity, individuals should consider a host of factors to find the right fit for them.

Things To Consider When Looking For A Volunteering Opportunity

just be honest with the charity when they inquire about your availability. Dont commit time you dont have, as you wont get as much out of the experience and you might end up letting the charity down when you cant participate as much as you had promised.

Personality Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes, and charitable organizations need volunteers from all walks of life. Some people assume all volunteers must be the outgoing, sociable type, but such an assumption is untrue. Consider your own personality when looking for a volunteering opportunity, and dont feel discouraged if youre not very outgoing. Your strengths as a volunteer may lie in helping plan events like fundraisers or helping the charity navigate its way through red tape. Availability Volunteering can be a major time commitment or something you do occasionally without having to commit much time. Many volunteers would love to devote themselves full-time to a charitable cause they feel a connection to, but prospective volunteers must be honest with themselves about their availability. You can still volunteer if your schedule is already quite busy,

Accessibility Consider a charitys accessibility when determining if its the right fit for you. Many volunteers prefer to contribute to charities in their own towns because such organizations dont require the additional time commitment of commuting. If you volunteer with an organization that is far away from where you live, you arent as likely to enjoy the experience or continue your participation. The organization should be conveniently located and, if you dont drive, easily accessible via public transportation. Personal interest While volunteering with any worthy organization figures to be a rewarding experience, the experience can be that much more meaningful if you have a personal interest or connection to the organization. If youre passionate about a certain cause, youre more likely to embrace a volunteering opportunity with an organization associated with that cause. On the contrary, if youre not passionate about a certain charity or its mission, you might not fully commit to volunteering, and neither you nor the charity will get the most out of your volunteering. Volunteering is a wonderful way for men and women to give back to their communities. Finding the right opportunity is the first step toward making the experience beneficial for you as well as the charitable organization you ultimately choose to work with.

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE/ Lose 20 pounds in one week? This is almost impossible! Weight loss ads must reflect the typical experiences of the diet users.

When you see words like these be skeptical. Before you invest your time and money call the ATTORNEY GENERALS CONSUMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, at 1-800-649-2424. WANT A CURE-ALL? Health fraud is a business that sells false hope. Beware of unsubstantiated claims for health products and services. There are no Quick Cures - no matter what the ad is claiming.

JEDI

DEAR SARA: Congratulations on adopting your first pet! Cats can be great companions. While its difficult to teach a cat to fetch or roll over like a dog, house training is usually much easier to accomplish. Cats have a natural instinct to cover up their droppings. This hides them from predators. A litter box caters to that instinct. A kitten that is old enough to be adopted (usually 12 weeks) has typically been taught by its mother how and where to poop, how to cover it up, and how to keep itself clean and neat (by washing its fur with its tongue). You can reinforce this: Set up your new cats litter box, as well as its bedding, toys, food and water, ahead of time. As soon as you bring your new cat home, take it to the litter box and let the cat check it out. If your cat doesnt get it the first time, and piddles elsewhere in the house, dont scold it. Try to catch it as soon it happens, pick the cat up and place it in the litter box. It should connect quickly. What if your cat refuses to use the litter box and goes elsewhere? Move the box to a quieter part of the house. If that doesnt work, or if the cat appears lethargic or meows a lot, contact the veterinarian right away. Cats that dont use the litter box often are ill, not stubborn.

Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paws Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and information, visit www.pawscorner. com.

Potty Training a Cat

DEAR PAWS CORNER: Im going to adopt a cat soon, and Ive never had a pet. My friend told me that cats arent easy to train, so Im worried. Will it be difficult to train my cat to use a litter box? -- Sara in Columbus, Ga.

Hanging Pictures in Concrete Basement

Q: I have a dry basement that I turned into an extra workspace and play area. The outer concrete walls are covered by a layer of wallboard with little or no space between. Id like to hang pictures and a whiteboard in this area, but I am afraid of drilling through the concrete. How can I accomplish this? -- Beth Y., Pittsburgh

By Samantha Mazzotta

A: Drilling into concrete isnt impossible -- special masonry drill bits are available -- but youre right to be cautious about drilling holes in the walls of a dry basement. However, you do have

options outside of drilling into the mortar. Light objects that wont bear extra weight can be attached to the wall using an adhesive product like the Command series of picture hangers. These have the added benefit of not marring the wallboard even when the adhesive is removed later. Theyre available at home-improvement and office-supply stores. For a more secure attachment, place small picture-hanger hooks into the wallboard using the smallest nails available. The items being hung should be less than 5 pounds and not hold any extra weight -- so a shelf or a cork board laden with notes might not hold up. For heavier objects, or if you want shelving near your workspace, youll have to get more creative. If there is a little space between the wallboard and the concrete, you can drill a hole and place expansion bolts, which pop open behind the wallboard to keep the bolts in place. Toggle (or Molly) bolts will work if there is about an inch of space between the concrete and the drywall.

Because the bolts are not anchored in studs, you should brace the shelf or picture with extra expansion bolts on the bottom, and limit the load to less than 50 pounds. In fact, if youre planning to add shelving to hold books, consider using a freestanding bookshelf instead of a weight-bearing wall shelf. Another option for heavier items is suspending them from the ceiling. Try locating the ceilings framing material or the floor joists using a stud finder, and drill sturdy bolts or hooks into the joists. HOME TIP: Even dry basements can have high humidity or be vulnerable to seepage through the masonry foundation, so consider using a dehumidifier to improve air quality. Send your questions or tips to ask@thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Half Way point of Meteorological Winter this week. It would be a good time check your wood pile and heating bills and make your best judgment on where you stand as we cross the peak of Meteorological Winter this week. Typically this is also associated with a January Thaw, climatological anomaly that shows up for about 3 days of warmth. Recently we have had at least two thaws of significance. Either way the average will start going up, not necessarily the actual weather as it is highly variable. Last Weeks Vermont Weather Arctic air though aptly modified or warmed on its travels from near the North Pole via Alaska and the Canadian Prairies first rolled in the middle of last week. Temperature levels dropped, eventually dipping into the minus teens below zero, across parts of mainly northern Vermont by last Thursday morning. As low pressure tracked north of the state, a warm surge of air moved in bringing highs reaching into the middle 40s Saturday and Sunday last weekend. It was accompanied by a warm front which also brought as much as 5.5 inches of newly fallen snow to West Danville last Friday night. As the low pressure area tracked into the Canadian Maritime provinces, An arctic front brought tightened the pressure gradient and created strong southwest to westerly winds last Sunday. The recent windstorm where isolated gusts reached well over 50 mph, caused scattered power outages and tree limbs to come down. And finally a return to arctic air emerged to start the Wrok week last Monday the 21st of January. Vermont Weather Stats from Last Week ending Monday the 21st. Highest temperature: 46 degrees Bethel, Brattleboro and Moretown Sunday the 20th Lowest temperature: Minus 17 degrees, Averill, Gallup Mills and Island Pond Friday the 18th Heaviest melted precipitation: 0.25 Chelsea ending Thursday morning the 17th Most Snowfall: 5.5 West Danville ending Saturday morning the 19th Most snow on the ground: 39 Mount Mansfield at the stake Sunday afternoon the 20th Global Temperature Facts For Last Week Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth was 112 degrees F Vryheid (South Africa) Last weeks coldest temperature was minus 65 degrees at Tugoncani (Russia) Atmospheric Chemistry Continues To Change Jan. 6-12th CO2 levels at the Mauna Loa Observatory were 395.51 and going up. This was compared to 393.01 ppm last January 2012 for the same period. Thats up 2.50 from one year ago which was a significant jump.

air with abnormally warm water off of the northeast coast of Japan developed one of the strongest north Pacific storm in many years with a central pressure of 932mb, as low as a major hurricane, and modeled wave heights of over 60 feet. This was even lower the Hurricane Sandy. Weather Trends Ahead Cold arctic air may keep us below zero degrees for a high temperature today Wednesday (the 23rd and Thursday the 24th) before temperatures make a bit of a rise Friday. The cold air has originated in Siberia and with a cross polar flow has made it all the way into the eastern half of the U.S. Night time temperatures were indicated to drop into the teens below zero on at least two but possibly three nights. Arctic air can cause interesting optics such as Sun Dogs and Halos and occasional ice Pillars, where lights illuminate straight up into the sky being refracted and bent by tiny ice crystals. Strange things happen with colder arctic conditions also including diamond dust flurries, where small ice crystals (the same ice crystals that that make up Cirrus clouds usually high in the atmosphere) also appear to fall out of a clear blue sky and cause ice crystal dustings. From a far it looks like haze. Despite just being very cold, arctic air when lacking a goo snow pack can cause issued with frost penetration deep into the ground. Often this takes places as temperatures begin to warm and this would be about Friday. Water main breaks are possible in places with older infrastructure. Friday Snow? A storm system could move in Friday, bringing us a shot of powdery snow. With the arctic air mass air in place, the snow will be low water content and extremely powdery. There is still some question on the exact storm track which could still only brush the region with a little powder or some decent powder of over 6 it was too soon to say on how much would fall as the storm track has not yet been consolidated by the various computer models. The storm associated with jet stream energy coming over the top of a large ridge of high pressure out west was to absorb Great Lakes moisture and then track south of Long Island. These hybrid type storms have been where most of biggest snowfalls have come from this winter season, but always have a difficult time being modeled and therefore predicted well. In any event, that system will be exiting with another Cold Shot of arctic chill this coming weekend.

Second Greatest Warming Source is Soot Black soot spewed into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, wood and cropland has a far greater impact on climate than previously thought, according to new research. In a report published in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres, scientists say the pollutant is second only to carbon dioxide as the most powerful driver of climate change. They add that black carbon also kills more than a million people each year who breathe it in. Beijing China frequently suffers the worst bout of hazardous air pollution on record, sending people to hospitals with respiratory problems and keeping most people indoors. The report says tackling soot would have an almost immediate cooling effect on the planet because of the brief time it remains suspended in the atmosphere. The researchers recommend reducing emissions from diesel engines and domestic wood and coal fires as the best way to tackle the problem. But Piers Forster, from the University of Leeds, says that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the only way to really ease global warming. Sudden Stratospheric Warming Event leads to A Cold Week Locked in Arctic Air Over about the pat two weeks, meteorologists have been watching a phenomena that occurs roughly around mid winter called a Sudden Stratospheric Warming event. This happens above where weather occurred in the Troposphere and in the stratosphere it typically occurs in the vicinity of the North Pole. The current event of warm air at very high altitudes over near the North Pole has been developing affecting weather here in North America, Last year its was more in Eurasia and western Alaska . Major stratospheric warming events like these have a large impact on the jet stream configuration or storm track and typically delivers very cold air southward into lower latitudes. The warm air in the stratosphere radiates heat and sinks, then warms as it sinks by compressional heating. It causes a mound of relatively warm air and high pressure to develop around the pole. Cold air is pushed away from the pole, in this case under the two vortices. In the Pacific ocean the dynamic interaction of the cold
